Improving Beyer Figures Spot Play MethodThis 38-page and easy-to-use method employs, as you may have guessed, improving Beyer figures and involves several key factors, all of which are fully explained. The results and profits are excellent. Up to 77% of the horses run in-the-money. The average WIN mutuel is $9.18, and the return on WIN wagers is 25.5%. Furthermore, add just one factor which we reveal in the method, and your ROI to WIN could more than double to over 50%! We’ve cashed in on some terrific double-digit win, place and show horses – they’re not all favorites! IBF was rated an excellent 8-1/2 by the Phillips Racing Newsletter. IBF includes a detailed live play workout of over 100 selections so you can see how it held up under actual racing and wagering conditions. And as is our style, we give you plenty of case studies of actual races we've handicapped using the IBF method so you can see it in action and easily understand how to use it.

Place-to-Win for RoutesThis spot play, rated an excellent 9by PRN, features a set of several straightforward guidelines to apply to route races. Our research shows that the guidelines can help you make selections which have a chance of running in-the-money more than 80% of the time, at odds ranging from about even money to 6-1. When you follow the guidelines, it yields about one to two plays per track per day. Moreover, we do have discussions in the June 1993, September 1993 and December 1993 TIPS Reports on how you can increase your number of qualified selections. This 24-page spot play was co-authored by Jon Worth and his late father, Tom Worth.

Walt Owen's Reno SpecialThe Reno Special is a terrific and insightful use of traditional handicapping, employing figures and blending in class as well. The Reno Special was the result of a two-month trip that Walt made to Reno. There he did special research and live handicapping for the whole two months he was there. Walt tested his method at the major tracks and found 5 to 6 playable races per day. You may use the Reno Special to handicap all classes of races ranging from stakes to claimers. In sum, this method focuses on form, class, and weight, so you have a three pronged handicapping approach! Walt was highly commended several times by PRN.

As an aside, Walt was a long-time friend of our family, especially with my dad, Tom. They had a great and long-lasting friendship spanning over 40 years, each sharing their love of horse racing & handicapping. Walt was a great handicapper as well as an acclaimed artist. He created a beautiful illustration of Secretariat of which 25 prints were autographed by the trainer, Lucien Laurin; the owner, the then-named Penny Tweedy, (now Penny Chenery); and Walt, the artist. Walt gave us permission to sell his methods, and he also gave us many of the prints of his illustration of Secretariat, though these are autographed by Walt only. We do own two of the 25 prints autographed by the trainer and owner, one of which we are soon putting on the auction block. Quite a few years ago, Mr. Turcotte purchased one of the prints from us, (the ones not autographed by trainer and owner), and we sent him the print along with a refund of his payment because, after all, we couldn’t possibly take money from the history-making Triple Crown winning jockey!!
